II. TRUE OR FALSE:

_____ 11. To solve a system of equations by elimination, any of the two variables x or y must be
isolated.

_____13. The goal of elimination method is to eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting the
equations in order to solve the value of the remaining variable.
_____ 14. A system of linear equations may consist of four linear equations
_____ 15. Two lines that meet at (0,0) is considered an inconsistent system.
